Harpist Bridget Kibbey captivates audiences with masterpieces and new works that stretch the boundaries of her instrument. The New York Times recently declared: "Bridget Kibbey made it seem as though her instrument had been waiting all its life to explode with the gorgeous colors and energetic figures she was getting from it." Declared “indefatigable” by Time Out Chicago, flutist Claire Chase is First Prize Winner of the 2008 Concert Artists Guild Competition. A passionate performer, leader, and innovator, she creatively links traditional, contemporary and experimental music
with program choices that range from Bach and Brahms to Boulez, Saariaho, Zorn, and beyond. Together they will perform a concert of solos and duets that will span traditional and contemporary classical music.

Damian’s note: This will be a very unique evening. I had never thought of having a flutist and a harpist together in one concert, but when I heard them together it was amazing; they blew me away.
